Lirael Cosplay: Block Printing a Medieval Surcoat for Halloween

IN WHICH our intrepid recreatrix overcomes shipping delays, computer drive failure, and deathly illness (a slight hyperbole; it wasn’t Covid) to make a literary inspired Halloween cosplay! Join me as I dive into the world of Garth Nix's Old Kingdom series and create an outfit inspired by Lirael's quartered surcoat from the third book, Abhorsen. I'll guide you through the process of block printing, from designing the stamps to printing them onto the fabric.
